Kayleigh Mac 11 Posted January 23 Good evening, I am looking for some advice in respect of Visas. Myself, partner and son (1yr old) are looking to emigrate to Brisbane however we have no clue which visas we need. My mum & Sister already hold Australian citizenship and reside in Brisbane and we’re now looking to join them and hopefully one day also becoming citizens. Is there a family visa we can apply for due to my mother and sister being there? Alternatively my partner has a skilled trade, he is a Plant Engineer, would a skilled trade visa be the better option? Any advice you can offer would be hugely appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marisawright 10,724 Posted January 24 There is no family visa for daughters or sisters, sorry. Your only option is a skilled visa. When I migrated to Australia, I did everything myself, but I wouldn't advise trying that these days. Best plan is to book a meeting with a good migration agent and go through your situation with them. Try Suncoast Migration or Go Matilda.

calNgary 9,258 Posted January 24 You should be able to get a Skilled Visa with Plant engineer as the occupation. Personally i would have a quick chat /consultation with an agent, as many trades can be crossed referenced and they will let you know which visa they think is most suitable for you with the qualification's you have. Cal x If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place... If you get a chance,take it, If it changes your life,let it. Nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
